Reasons for high agility in a CAS
The analysis of CAS characteristics helps in understanding the key reasons why a CAS has high agility. These are as follows:
Agents, that is, employees in the context of an enterprise, are empowered to deal with the environment and interact with other agents, in a manner which they deem as best for the situation at hand
Agents learn based on feedback and change themselves and adjust their behaviors accordingly
Agents are actively and purposefully engaged with the system
Agents and the system discard what is not working, and constantly evolve to find the best fit with the environment
CAS purpose, structure, and processes are dynamic and evolve based on emergent information
